Twenty-eight: Cai Yong, the righteous

At this time, there are not many people who can keep studying so hard.

Temporary efforts are not difficult, long-term efforts are the most difficult, and Guo Peng has always worked the same efforts and has never slacked off.

Cai Yong was a little moved, so he inspected Guo Peng from time to time. He found that Guo Peng learned things quickly and had a good memory. He usually acted in a low-key manner and remained silent. He had recited the mainstream version of the Five Classics quietly.

Cai Yong was very surprised. After some thought, he insisted on including Guo Peng in the team that proofreads the scriptures.

The team that proofreads the scriptures were all Confucian scholars in their thirties, old Confucian scholars in their 40s and 50s, as well as two master figures, Yang Biao and Ma Rizhen. They were all professionals, and they were very confused and dissatisfied with the joining of a Taixue boy.

So Cai Yong immediately allowed them to test Guo Peng's memory and talent.

Yang Biao and Ma Riyi hold their own identities and are embarrassed to attack Guo Peng, who is a boy.

So, a slightly younger Confucian scholar in his twenties and thirties in his team asked questions. These Confucian scholars used various methods to examine Guo Peng's memory and talent. Guo Peng answered questions and never fell at a disadvantage.

In fact, since Guo Peng came to Dongguan to study, led by Yang Biao and Ma Riyan, the Confucian scholars in the team have known Guo Peng's identity and background and have some opinions about him.

However, since Guo Peng has not yet won the title, he is still the only boy. He is sarcastic about boys and is really not something that adults can do, and it also means taking care of Cai Yong's face, so they simply think that Guo Peng is the air.

I thought Guo Peng would not be able to stand the awkward atmosphere and left, but he stayed for a year, and not only did he not leave, Cai Yong actually wanted thirteen-year-old Guo Peng to join the proofreading team.

This made the Confucian scholars very dissatisfied and began to attack.

Of course, they were embarrassed to attack Guo Peng's background, but said that he was too young and unworthy to ask Cai Yong to take back his life.

When Cai Yong heard this, he asked Guo Peng to accept their accountability and demonstrated his strength. Guo Peng responded with all his strength and answered their inquiries one by one. Although the answers were not very good in some places, it was also because he did not receive systematic education and was irreproachable.

The Confucian scholars were speechless and had nothing to ask. If you ask more questions, you might be suspected of bullying the small ones by bullying the big ones, and they want shame.

So Yang Biao and Ma Riyi finally realized that Guo Peng had a very good memory and agile thinking, and his understanding of the Confucianism was really excellent at this age.

Afterwards, Cai Yong was very happy and presented a five-character poem written by Guo Peng, saying that although age is worth caring about, it is not a decisive factor. If you have ambition, you can still care about the world at a young age.

After reading "The Fifteenth Army Enlistment", the Confucian scholars in the team no longer had any objections to Guo Peng's joining. While Yang Biao and Ma Riyan remained silent, Guo Peng was able to officially join the proofreading team of the Shijing project.

With this, Guo Peng also gained more rights to act cheaply and was able to walk freely throughout Dongguan.

Moreover, after such a test of more than 30 Confucian scholars asking questions together, Guo Peng's reputation gradually became louder with the simple five-character poem "The Fifteenth Army Enlistment".

As a member of the youngest Shijing proofreading team, Guo Peng has attracted the attention and interest of many people.

A year ago, Guo Peng entered the Imperial Academy with a reputation as pure filial piety, and this reputation spread faster.

However, whether this is a good or a bad thing for Guo Peng, Guo Peng himself thinks it should be viewed dialectically. Not to mention the in-laws between Guo Peng and Cao, his identity as a member of the Guo family in Yingchuan is also a problem.

People all know that the Guo family in Yingchuan is a family of grammatical officials, and has passed down the family Dulu. They have been engaged in legal work for generations. Now they have produced a minor generation who has revised the stone scriptures, which is quite intriguing.

Some people think this is Guo's pursuit of transformation, while others think this is Guo's civil strife.

But no matter what they thought, Guo Peng finally gained a foothold in Luoyang not by relying on his reputation as a filial son, but by relying on a little bit of learning to start entering the house.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Xuan also took advantage of the opportunity to praise Guo Peng's good literary talent in public, which is a talent that can be created, and also praised Guo Peng's creativity in calligraphy.

So Guo Peng's reputation went further and there were signs of widespread spread.

Guo Peng himself can also feel that his reputation has improved greatly.

The most intuitive manifestation is that when the lecturer of the Taixue Hall, the master disciple who preached the scriptures specially pointed Guo Peng's name and asked him to answer the questions.

After Guo Peng answered, the high disciple praised him, saying that everyone should learn from Guo Peng and study hard to have a way out.

Guo Peng also has some reputation in the Imperial College. He was embarrassed to come to him for communication. Those who were a little older, and those who were seventeen or eighteen years old, communicated with Guo Peng through Zang Hong’s relationship.

Starting from "The Fifteenth Army Campaign" and regular script calligraphy, I have been communicating with Guo Peng to editing books in Dongguan.

Guo Peng's circle of friends has expanded greatly. Of course, Guo Peng also knew the purpose of these people, not for himself, but for Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan behind him.

Because there are already rumors in Luoyang City that Cai Yong has accepted Guo Peng as his personal disciple, otherwise how could he promote Guo Peng to the team that edits books?

He also said that Qiao Xuan also admires Guo Peng very much and intends to accept him as his disciple, otherwise he would not have helped him become famous.

In fact, Guo Peng also knew that Qiao Xuan helped him out of purely good-looking and kindness, and maybe he had a little pity.

Cai Yong promoted him to the team for proofreading books mainly because Guo Peng's excellent memory can play a role in the proofreading process, rather than relying on his understanding of the scriptures.

Cai Yong still did not let him go to be a formal disciple, but he was more detailed and patient when answering questions. He often used some questions to test Guo Peng to see if he had relaxed in his studies.

There is nothing else that is too deliberate.

Guo Peng also mentioned it twice, hoping that Cai Yong would accept him as his disciple and formally teach him his knowledge. Cai Yong just smiled and shook his head, and did not say much, making Guo Peng feel itchy.

Sometimes when you think about it carefully, Guo Peng will feel that this situation is like a pure little boy who is courting, while Cai Yong is a scheming bitch who is very cautious and scheming.

Judging from the rank between the two, this is not a very appropriate description.

Cai Yong seemed to be playing with Guo Peng, and Guo Peng even had strange dreams for several nights.

The real turning point was in July of the sixth year of Xiping.
